John15:19

Verſe 19. If ye were of the world, &c.] They jangle among themſelves, and intertear one another, as dogs fighting. For, though there be not a diſagreement in hell (being but the place of retribution, not of action) yet on earth there is no ſound peace among the wicked. Howbeit, let Ephraim be againſt Manaſſeh, and Manaſſeh againſt Ephraim, they'll ſoon be both againſt Judah: as if a Hare run by dogs that are fighting, they'll agree to purſue the Hare

Therefore the world hates you] As inhoſpitall ſalvages doe thoſe that land on their coaſts, as the Cyprians; for an old grudge, ſlay all Jews they meet with, though but caſt upon their coaſts by contrary windes, Tac. l. [illegible: 1 word]. Tami [illegible: 1 word] eſt [illegible: 1 letter]o[illegible: 1 letter]um, quanti eſt odium Chriſt innorum. Ter. Bodin. de rep. l. [illegible: 1 letter]. cap. 6. Odio humani generis, & per flagitia inviſi, ſaith Tacitus of Chriſtians, Davis adverſaries ſought not only his life, but his ſoul, his damnation too; as that monſter of Millain mentioned by Bodinus. Now we commit thy ſoul to the devil, ſaid the perſecutours to John Huſſe. And Hierom of Prague could hardly obtain a Confeſſour, being it ſeems conſcientious that way.
